Rush to record sex workers

  • Sunday, 16 Nov 2003

The Justice Ministry is going to organise a public hearing about whether or not sex workers should be registered. The ministry plans to invite relevant parties to the meeting. It also intends to explore the proposal of registering sex workers from the cultural, moral, legal, economic and public health aspects.  

However, as things turn out, the government, or to be more correct, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has already decided on this issue. The so-called public hearing, like others that have been held before on similar controversial issues, will be nothing more than a ritual ceremony to justify a policy that has been already made.
